As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and author of Therapeutic Eating: The Gateway, I am passionate about helping individuals and couples move toward deeper healing and alignment. I specialize in women’s issues, addiction, relationship dynamics, spirituality, and personal growth, with a strong focus on embodiment, eating disorder recovery, and cultivating a healthier self-image. I view therapy as a space for both healing and expansion—where you can reconnect with your body, understand patterns, and step into a more grounded and empowered version of yourself. My approach is warm, intuitive, and collaborative.
I specialize in Eating Disorders, Body Image, and Women's Issues through my "Therapeutic Eating" framework. My approach is insight-oriented and non-diet, helping you move from 'survival mode' to emotional safety. Expect a collaborative space where we use IFS and EFT to dismantle shame and create lasting relational connection.
I offer in-person sessions in Honolulu and telehealth across Hawaii. I am in-network with Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Kaiser, BCBS and Quest via Headway. Most clients pay a small copay ($20-$30). Click the "Website" link below to see your exact insurance cost and book your first session or free 15-minute consultation today.
